Super Gene Hunting Ground
Chapter 147: Joining Forces

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Joining Forces

Xu Nanqiang, as the person in charge of the logistics team, had to go out every day to gather firewood, fetch ice, cook meals, and thus could not stay in the cave for long periods of time. Additionally, their Genetic Evolution Level was low, so the cold really got to them. Sometimes, for the same task, it would require dozens of people from the logistics team to take turns, with each person persisting for only a few minutes before immediately handing it off to the next person to continue.

If they had a piece of Snow Wolf Armor, it would naturally be much better.

Yang Xiao patted Xu Nanqiang on the shoulder and said:

"Wait until I get a batch of Snow Wolf Armor. I’ll give ten to your logistics team first, so you can take turns wearing them while working."

"That would be great."

Xu Nanqiang laughed heartily.

"In the next few days, our main focus will be to use the Transmission Array to go to Xianan University and hunt Snow Wolves, to get more food and Snow Wolf Armor. This is a pressing matter. If I’m not mistaken, Snow Wolf Armor will become necessary equipment for everyone within the next one or two years. There won’t be enough for every person to have one, so we need to act early."

"Doesn’t the Genetic Store sell Snow Wolf Armor?"

Zhao Gang asked.

"There should be some, yes, but with Snow Wolf Armor being so important now, I guess the price won’t be cheap."

Yang Xiao’s guess was correct. From the moment Yang Xiao killed the first Snow Wolf and got Snow Wolf Armor, the Genetic Store began supplying it, but at an exorbitantly high price—1,000 Crystal Coins each.

In the past few days, Yang Xiao and his team had been busy dealing with Snow Wolves and had not even considered buying Snow Wolf Armor from the Genetic Store.

The next day, Yang Xiao led his team through the Transmission Array to hunt Snow Wolves. By the end of the day, they had killed nearly forty Snow Wolves, acquiring 28 pieces of Snow Wolf Armor.

Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang originally didn’t understand what game Yang Xiao was playing, but by the afternoon, when they saw that Yang Xiao had hunted dozens of Snow Wolves within a single day, they finally had an epiphany.

"Yang Xiao and his team are fighting for resources. Snow Wolf Armor is good for protection against the cold, and Snow Wolf Meat can be eaten. Aren’t these exactly what we are lacking right now?"

Zhou Qiang said.

That morning, Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang joined forces and, with the help of some team members, also killed six Snow Wolves, obtaining three pieces of Snow Wolf Armor.

Xia Luo called a meeting and immediately shared her thoughts.

"Yang Xiao is now competing for resources while also alleviating our pressure. After today’s skirmish, the Snow Wolves have started to fear us, with some retreating further back. At least now there are no Snow Wolves around the Transmission Array."

"Xia Luo, you and Zhou Qiang have now both broken through the Primary Stage of Primordial Gene Evolution, possessing the ability to confront Snow Wolves. We also need to hurry and hunt Snow Wolves. Otherwise, by the time Yang Xiao and his team kill off all the Snow Wolves, we won’t have anything to eat."

Xia Luo was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Right now we still have to thank Yang Xiao. He helped us kill some Snow Wolves, alleviating our burden. Sigh, after this winter, Yang Xiao and his team have caught up with our development and will soon surpass us. Kongming Academy’s Genetic Plan Level has already reached 6, on par with ours."

The next day, Yang Xiao reorganized his team. Now with over sixty pieces of Snow Wolf Armor, he organized a mixed squadron consisting of twenty people with Close Combat Beast Soul Defense, twenty with Electric Magic, and twenty with the Plant Soul System. Xiao Zhe stayed behind to guard the cave, while he himself, together with Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, Chen Fei, Long Yongjun, Dai Yun, Feifei, and others grouped up and arrived at Xianan University.

There were no Snow Wolves within a hundred meters around the Transmission Array. These Snow Wolves knew Yang Xiao and the others’ tactics, so they stood further away from the Transmission Array.

Combining both packs, there were still nearly two hundred Snow Wolves, still wielding formidable strength. The Snow Wolves had not fully sobered up from the excitement of killing at Xianan University a few days ago and still fantasized about the seven or eight hundred people on the playground because they knew Xia Luo and the others were out of food and would have to take risks to come out.

The Snow Wolves never expected that Yang Xiao would use the Transmission Array to disrupt this balance.

Therefore, Yang Xiao had now become the number one target of hatred for the Snow Wolves.

As soon as Yang Xiao appeared, the golden and silver Wolf Kings each led their teams, encircling from left and right.

However, the pack didn’t dare to get close to the Transfer Array—they knew that Yang Xiao and his team could instantly teleport using the Transfer Array.

What the Snow Wolves needed to do now was to firmly guard against Yang Xiao, to encircle him from front and back, preventing him from using the Transfer Array to hunt Snow Wolves again. Once Yang Xiao and his team stepped out of the Transfer Array, the two packs of wolves would immediately charge and cut off their retreat.

Yang Xiao and his companions observed for a while and realized that they could no longer hunt Snow Wolves using the Transmission Array as they did yesterday.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment, then stood by the Transmission Array and waved to Xia Luo and the others.

Huang Wen circled in the sky, staying alert and ready to launch an attack on the wolves at any moment.

Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang brought people over.

"Yang Xiao, you’ve come hunting again today?"

Xia Luo said with a smile, feeling somewhat schadenfreude that Yang Xiao could not repeat his trick today.

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

"How about we join forces to hunt today?"

"Join forces? Do you really need me to join you?"

Xia Luo said with a light laugh.

"Don’t you have a team of 500 elites? They’ve been well-fed and are almost fully rested these past two days. Can you deploy them all?"

Xia Luo was stunned for a moment,

"Of course, but they don’t have Snow Wolf Armor, so their ability to resist the cold is weaker. Moreover, these Snow Wolves have a higher level of Genetic Evolution and are very powerful in combat, making them tough to deal with."

Xia Luo expressed his reluctance to participate, not wanting to risk his last resources without understanding Yang Xiao’s true intentions.

Of course, Yang Xiao knew what he was thinking and said:

"There are less than two hundred Snow Wolves here; you have five hundred people to use, and I can bring in another five hundred from Kongming Academy. Together, a thousand of us could encircle and annihilate this group of Snow Wolves."

Hearing this, Xia Luo’s heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat excited, and he said:

"Yang Xiao, if you can deploy five hundred people, then I will join forces with you. I now detest these wolves to death, they’ve killed so many of our classmates and even prevented us from entering the teaching building to sleep and rest."

The scene where the wolf pack killed over five hundred people a few days ago lingered in Xia Luo’s mind, and everyone was unable to forget it, which is why these past few days while eating raw wolf meat, everyone did so with a sense of vengeance.

Although the temperature around the Genetic Store wasn’t that low, there was nothing here—no chairs, no beds, and everyone had to stand or squat all day long, which was extremely uncomfortable over time.

If they could return to the teaching building, now that everyone had meat to eat and their physical resistance had improved, they could wrap themselves in quilts and sleep.

"This cooperation comes with two conditions from me. If you agree, then we’ll collaborate. As long as we join forces and annihilate these two hundred Snow Wolves, your food problem will be solved, the threat of the wolves will be gone, and you’ll even get dozens of Snow Wolf Armors so that you can catch a breath and slowly develop."

Xia Luo looked at Yang Xiao:

"What are the conditions?"

"Simple: we split all the spoils of war evenly, but the items dropped by the two Wolf Kings must go to me."

Xia Luo was taken aback, feeling an unavoidable surge of anger in his heart. According to his past temperament, he would have instantly slapped Yang Xiao’s face, cursed him away, told him to roll. But now, Yang Xiao was the one making the initiative, and he was in the passive position.

Xia Luo suppressed his rage and said lowly:

"Is there another condition?"

"Tomorrow, you must act as bait to lure the wolf pack."
